Happy Wright Brothers Day!
In the spirit of invention/Mythbusters/Rube Goldberg, I bring you this contraption...an old V8 block from a Chevy truck made into...a snowblower. Something that some of us could actually use this time of year.
http://www.v8snowblowers.com/ No leak in my shower. I was kind of skeptical since I hadn't been at home all weekend to take one. I think it's more likely snowmelt around the ground level basement windows. I know they've had that before.
In other news, cheap solid white hardhats at Home Depot have inspired me to create. I'm not sure what yet, but I am armed with Sharpies among other things. It just begs for drawing. Sort of in the vein of the sadly retired Buckethead Brigade at Brewers games (I still have my shirt)
